The Cripple Stacker - PMD represents an emerging mayfly, struggling to hatch into an adult. Trout have learned that cripples are synonymous with an "easy meal."This pattern was designed for a Pale Morning dun hatch, but is also effective during the following hatches:
Golden Drake
Little Marryatt
Quill Gordon
Red Quill
Sulphur dun
White Winged Sulfur
Yellow Drake
Not all emerging mayflies are successful at escaping their nymphal shuck, floating helplessly down the river. These are called cripples to fly fishermen, and an easy meal to a fish!
The profile of this pattern makes it one of the most successful mayfly imitations available. Additionally, it floats well, and is easily visible as it drifts.
An ant with super powers! This high-floating, highly visible ant from the mind of Mr Lance is big enough to get noticed and big enough to suspend a small dropper, but small enough to fool the wariest trout.
The X-Caddis Olive trout fly includes a Z-lon tail on the elk hair pattern, to create a trout fly that is irresistable to trout that are keying in on caddis cripples.
This incredibly simple patterns shouldn't be mistaken as ineffective. The X-Caddis is in fact one of the more effective caddis patterns available. Created by Craig Matthews to fool even the most picky fish of the Yellowstone Valley, this fly has gained residence in every guides box across the country. This foam bodied version keeps the profile and proportions of the original, adding a bit more floatability. Also available in Tan
The Sweet grass Hopper is responsible for some of the largest trout taken on the surface in the Yellowstone Valley. This extremely durable foam hopper pattern floats tungsten nymphs with ease while picky fish let down their guard when this pattern falls from the bank.
The Orange Stimulator dry fly works well as an attractor pattern and especially effective at imitating the adult stonefly or salmon fly. This fly is both buoyant and highly visible to the fly fisherman.Please note that sizes 12, 14, 16, and 18 will include white calf hair tied on top of the deer hair wing for better visibility (similar to our Crystal Stimulators). Please note that size 18s are in transition and they do not yet have a white wing. We will remove this note when that transition occurs.
